[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
You don't seem to understand the definition of a processor's clock speed. The clock speed represents the maximum frequency the processor can run on safely. Therefore, there is no danger in running it at its full designed speed. Granted, it will decrease the overall processor's lifetime, it is still a safe thing to do in short bursts. Like you mentioned, the G1 doesn't have any cooling on it, meaning yes, the processor in a sense could overheat from running at such a high frequency, but it shouldn't be enough to permanently damage the phone. And finally, this is XDA Developers, we are all about defeating these safety mechanisms and things along that line (:

says you, i personally like to test anything to it's max potential as long as it is under warranty. i figure if i goof it up i can claim i have no idea what is wrong with it(i'm a pretty good liar) right now i have a PC notebook quad-booting ubuntu 8.10, ubuntu 9.04, windows XP pro, and windows vista. if we never pushed anything hard enough to crash things would never get better. i wish i had a bigger hard drive in my comp(only have a 360 GB with 4 partitions) so what am i gonna buy ASAP 1 exabyte just because i CAN. i know i will never fill it up but hell i can store all my DNA info on it and still have room for any movie/mp3 i could possibly think of

What should I edit to increase the system sound volume (i.e the volume of music playing)

Also, please tell me how much to increase so that I do NOT damage my device in any case.

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] lamborg:
I read the guide, but there's a confusion.

What should I modify to increase the volume of the music playing, and also by what value should I increase so as NOT to damage the device.

THanks
[General Questions and Answers] Aegishua:
Okay essentially, you open the registry editor on your phone and then make your way to the Volume String. from there you'll see a number of DWORDS and what not. Select Volume and edit the value. Change it to something like 5 or higher than the value that was already there. Soft reset after that

Alternatively you can install the SRS WOW HD driver if your phone supports it (most phones do). Download it Here

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] The420Dank:
My question is, I see the CDMA ONLY rom section but there is only 1 ROM in there. I can't get my sound or notifications to work so I have to try another one or stick with the stock ROM. I need sound and notifications or I will not hear when my stuff arrives and like yesterday, I missed a lot.

Can any of the ROMs that don't say whether they are for GSM ONLY? Or can I not use a single ROM in the Raphael ROM development section? If my question is confusing let me know. I have the sprint HTC Touch Pro(CDMA), and I would like to try one of these ROMs that don't say GSM only... Some of the ROMS don't designate which one they will only work on.

I don't wanna brick my phone so any help would be greatly appreciated... Maybe everyone should designate if it's CDMA, GSM, or both so that no one bricks their phone just for that reason.

Thanks for the help and I appreciate all the work. If I find a ROM that i'll use... I will definitely donate.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Unless they specifically say they are CDMA, assume they are GSM. There isn't a ROM that can work on both tmk.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Cal-El:
Yea, most here are GSM, I suggest you check out PPC Geeks, they are mostly CDMA and have quite a few ROM's over there. Thats the best advice I can give you! :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] The420Dank:
Thanks very very much for your answers guys. I absolutely love djbeames CDMA Rom but I just need the sounds and notifications. I beleive he is having progress. I like ya'lls work and responses as I've said, i've been using this site for over a year now. I may check out ppc-geeks but ultimately my final ROM choice will be from XDA.

Sorry if I posted a thread with an already answered question. I always use the search function and this is propbably my first thread since i've started using this site over a year ago.

I've read a lot but there's more and more and more. I plan to read it all but I just didn't have time to look through a bunch of pages or text to find an answer that I couldn't find in the search function. Thought it would be ok if I just made a quick thread asking. Next time I'll probably PM one of you guys.

Thanks for the responses, later guys.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] proj3ktpat:
I know you said that you really like xda (I don't blame you) but i have to +1 that ppc geeks recommendation. It seems like they are pretty much the opposite of what you find here in that the majority of their work is for cdma rather than gsm.

[G1 Apps and Games] CBowley:
It sure does use multi-touch, so that means it's a no go.
[G1 Apps and Games] keyz86:
err dude, pretty much all of us on here have multi touch now since it comes on all the latest ROM builds, so its proven that any multi touch application is more than possible.

And if your still on a stock ROM without multi touch then sucks to be you but do your research first!
[G1 Apps and Games] Areyo:
multi touch

Most people don't have multitouch. These people wouldn't be able to play the game. What's the point in making a game like that if only so little people are going to buy it?
[G1 Apps and Games] JRudnik:
Well, near everyone on XDA is using multi-touch (at least I presume, anyone reppin Android 1.0?)

And also, XDA is ready, willing, and able to rip APK's. We can do almost anything. Someone would just need to sit down and code.

[General Topics] MacGuy2006:
I have an old Trinity, and tried WM6.5 ROMs. Twice.

WM6.5 seems a bit faster for me, than 6.1. It is also stable.

But, it has, IMO, the WORST user interface of any OS out there!

It's cluttered. It's busy. It's hard to navigate.

The file screen is pure visual mess: something a grade student with bad taste would create, and think it's "cool."

And of course, below it all, it's still the old, old WM.

I love HTC hardware. But with WM7 beyond the horizon, I am taking a hard look at other options. Maybe the new iPhone coming out in June, maybe HTC Android, if they polish up a bit.

Has MS completely lost it? Or do people actually like WM6.5?
[General Topics] azazelx:
Umm, whats wrong with the interface? i love it, its easy to navigate, I really dont know what ur complaining about. Im using it on my tilt and it works great!
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Same here, I'm using it on my kaiser, and in addition to being much more responsive, the UI is a big improvement over previous versions. Titanium is finger friendly, and nice looking too. The large start menu is nice and finger friendly, as well as more convenient than navigating through endless menus just to open a program. And speaking of menus, the finger friendly menus are really nice; I barely have to use my stylus anymore.

The only thing I don't really like about the UI is the start menu's meager level of customization, but I'm sure someone here will come up with a tool to fix that. If you want the old WM interface back, you can always just install an old WM theme, and everything but the start menu will go back to Windows 3.1 style.

[General Topics] aussiebum:
If u think WM 6.5 has the worst UI then u haven't used WM 5 or below.

Agree with original poster, in fact i've listed my polaris on eBay and am just buying a nokia - and I've been using HTC's (about 6 of them) since the original xda.

[General Topics] oldsap:
it's the the best but it is one of the simplest UI to navigate. also, with WM6.5, i dont have to install 3rd party apps for sms (because of the big and scrollable UI), contacts (same as sms), and with all the titanium plugins being developed, no more favorite contacts launcher, pograms launcher, weather forecast, twitter, etc. but then again it's not the best UI :)
[General Topics] orb3000:
Havent tested personally, but from a graphical/friendly point of view I´m not rushing for testing...Not like it at all

Just my opinion,
[General Topics] cris_rowlands:
Im quite a fan of the new interface

I find it incredibly easy to navigate around it.

The only thing i dont like about it is how you return to the desktop after using an app, i would prefer it to return to the start menu where it was last.
[General Topics] VanAuberjim:
It's their first attempt for a finger-friendly UI. It's still ugly (compared to iPhone), and seems a bit too serious, that's why nobody uses the Windows Today screen and everybody installs custom roms or "today screen" alternatives like SPB mobile shell 3 and other similar products.

6.5 is a bit more operable when using it with your hands, but you still need the stylus or a nail for some operations. That's because WinMob started as a PDA OS and now that it's a Phone/pda OS they should redesign it from scratch.

Well, instead of making all UI parts big for a finger touch, Microsoft said that 6.5 will only be available on devices that have a dedicated button for "Start menu".

And I still don't like the honeycomb. (And I'm not gonna buy an iPhone because I like their UI :) )
[General Topics] nezz:
For some reason I think this not-so-long development improved WM UI a lot more than HTC with all those touch flos...
[General Topics] strboy:
meh...its not the best, but its not the wost..lol
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Actually VanAuberjim, they changed the upgrade to 6.5 requirements a month or two ago. Requiring a hardware start menu was a stupid idea, and I think they caught on to their mistake. Now, a minimum of a 400MHz processor and 128MB of RAM are the only things one needs to be eligible for an official upgrade. Unfortunately, it's still at the manufacturer's discretion, so older devices won't get an official upgrade. Of course, that's why cooked ROMs were invented ;).

Dave
[General Topics] F-Styla:
I agree too.

They messed up Windows Mobile 6.5 completly.

The improvements are not enough, I expected a lot more from the "new" windows mobile.

In my oppinion it doesn't deserve the adjectiv "new" because it isn't. They made the buttons bigger (like we have a long time with finger menu), the scrolling better (there was no possibiliy to make it worse then it was) , a new start menu (which is nearly like the one from TF3D 2) and new lock screen (which is pretty good).

Wooow.

And the rest?

The UI is still like from a nother, old time,, but the UI of iPhone, Android and Palm, yeah, they look new and fresh.

The Windows Mobile 6.5 UI still looks like Windows 95.

And why we still have to use the stylus on Windows Mobile 6.5.

Hellloooo M$ welcome to the non stylus finger friendly century!!!

That's why I'm selling my Xperia right now to buy the new iphone in this summer. Just beause of the interface.

I hate apple and I would love to keep my Xperia. But not this way.

If M$ isn't able to create a nice new Windows Mobile, they will lose in the next years, the won't have a chance against Android and iphone when this OS will have things like Office which is one of the main arguments for a Windows Mobile device.
[General Topics] mike21pr:
i agree with the OP and a lot of posts here, 6.5 is just not enough and im sick of the mediocre updates to winmo and they keep pushing back wm7 that i think it might not even stack up as well with the competition when it hits due to the fact that the give us real updates and it may not be up to par by the time it releases...... Im moving on come september or sooner when my contract is up and get me an iPhone 3rd Gen or a Palm Pre

at least they know how to bring the big updates to their OS (Palm gave us the Upgrade that M$ should have done and in a BIG WAY)

and apple (even though they are air tight) at least gave us copy-paste/mms and a lot of things that they were behind on so all iPhone haters can look for something else to complain about now
[General Topics] daniel_rh:
I like the new interface, and now more compared to the overloaded TF3D 2, I must say that WM6.5 is not the best thing out there in matter of usability and design, but it represents a big improvement over the older version, I just love the scrolling, and the new menus. I would like to see improvements on tasks switching and the control on the icons on the topbar, but I think that at this stage that's not gonna happen.

The real promise is Windows7 but they're taking tooooooooo long. I think the most interesting OS out there is the OS of the Palm Pre. Apple? well, I just realize that I don't want a phone with virtual keyb, I can't type without seeing the screen.
[General Topics] Lord_BlackAdder:
I have recently installed the WM6.5 ROM on my Diamond and I really like the responsivness of the new OS, especially with the new HTC Album, Camera, etc. So the underlying code must have been greatly enhanced.

When it comes to the visual of the home screen, I think I still prefer the HTC TouchFLO 3D. So together, they are a winner:D
[General Topics] eaglesteve:
I too agree with the original poster here. It is really terrible in my opinion. In fact, after installing it and using it for a few days, I came to the conclusion that microsoft is incapable of delivering any credible handheld OS for the foreseeable future at least, and have already switched to iPhone. I'm really very very happy with iPhone. WIth it jailbroken, I can multitask, cut and paste, do video recording, do bluetooth file transfer, do MMS, and many other things which everyone says iPhone can't do. Not only that, I find that other than GPS navigation software, which is still terrible on iPhone, the third party applications on iPHone are a lot better. Everything is so well thought out in iPhone, although it has just one button. Easy to switch tasks, VOIP and phone calls are of much better quality, volume control that could be adjusted in small increment, so much room for customization and tailoring (when so many incorrectly says that you can't customise iPhone).

I now use my HD to run my Tom Tom, iGO, Garmin and Mapking only. Once similar application exist on iPhone, I'd be 100% done with winmo.
[General Topics] dreamtheater39:
WORST++

Definitely one of the most pathetic attempts of MS. Sucks big time, what on earth were they thinking?

For instance, if i've scrolled the menu down somewhere and the clock/date is not in the screen....and i leave it there and come back to my today screen....boom! i got to scroll back just to see the damn date!

A today screen is to give a quick glance on all the important stuff. This is plain ridiculous....all you get to see is some boring menus in font size 32.

boo MS....booooo!
[General Topics] typo:
I'm not going to tell anybody what they should think, but I think a lot of negative opinions in this thread are because people are misunderstanding what 6.5 actually IS.

It's a patch job. It's a little facelift to buy time for WM7, which is an actual overhaul. Based on comments that have dribbled out from the WM team, I don't think WM7 really has been "pushed back." Instead, WM8 was pushed FORWARD and rebranded as WM7. The "original" WM7 was drastically reduced and rebranded as 6.5.

IMO, 6.5 is MOSTLY an improvement over 6.1. The menus and scrolling are definitely better. There's a handful of little tweaks and changes that are definite improvements. CHome is a bit flashier and more "current" than a bare Today screen (and, remember, you can easily disable it and use the "classic" Today screen if you want).

The only part I'm not very fond of is the Start menu. The design is questionable, and it's too darn clunky to rearrange. They really should have made a fullscreen "smart" menu that works more like the Vista / W7 Start menu.

Also, the new version of IE is absolutely useless. Slow, clunky, and lousy page rendering. Older versions of PIE were lousy for the "real" web but great for mobile sites. The new IE is good for neither. Luckily, that can also be reverted.
[General Topics] Farmer Ted:
I don't know, when it first came out, I thought it was pretty fugly. It may have just been the stupid peacock, but now that I've started using it I think that CHome is beautiful. It's so simple and elegant, and so easy to customize. There are what, maybe 30 .cpr files in \windows, as opposed to ~1300 for manila? And you can edit them with notepad; what's wrong with that? It took me about 5 minutes to make my first custom panel; now I have 4. I would never be able to make a tab for manila. And it's so easy to back up; everything's in the registry and a couple of titanium.cpr files. I wasn't a believer a few months ago, but now I am.
[General Topics] eaglesteve:
Nah. Wait for WM10 in 2056, which is the real iPhone killer. WM7, WM8, WM9 will all be temporary stop gap releases.

Just kidding. But, seriously, I hope my prediction does'nt come true.
[General Topics] rambo6:
First of all, none of you have used a true 6.5. To my knowledge, all that's available are leaked or pilfered versions. I've tried a couple of the 6.5 ROMs on my HTC Blue Angel. Here are my thoughts.

It looks pretty neat. Finger scrolling works pretty well. The icons look better. I like the little halo around each activated icon. However, I hope the final 6.5 is a lot better than the leaked versions. After using WM6.5 for a couple weeks, I went back to the HTC home with 6 tabs. I've also tried the Touch Flo ROMs on my Blue Angel and Kaiser. I like the plain old HTC Home better because it gives me fast access to what I use most.

My initial impressions of 6.5 is that it takes longer to get where I want. It is pretty speedy and works very well. I'm just not sure it's enough.

I'm concerned with the direction HTC and MS are going. I've been waiting so long for a HTC device with a large screen and keyboard. The Touch Pro 2 will have the screen and keyboard, but no 3.5mm jack and no flash (it'll probably have an aweful camera.) I've had every new HTC device since the BA, but I'm really tempted to try the Nokia N97.

I'm been an HTC and WinMo fan since I purchased my first HTC Harrier in 2004. I've had every HTC phone my carrier has offered since then. But, I am becoming a little concerned with both HTC and Windows Mobile. (My kids all have the I-Phone but I've been unwilling to switch.)
[General Topics] typo:
Heh, I see where you're coming from, but the reason WM7 is a big deal is because, by all accounts, it's a serious overhaul.

Some rumors seem to suggest it's practically a ground-up rebuild of WinMo. If you follow the rumors, it sounds like WM7 has been in development since around the time 6.1 was released, if not earlier.

None of this guarantees that WM7 will be GOOD, mind you, just that it SHOULD be substantially different.

"Read access violation at data address 0xF9C3D650. Program address 0x0016FAF4 in background thread NULL (GfxFieldWindowProc)".

Is this caused by the settings for S2U2?

Could you please kindly advise me too?
